I DO NOT OWN SCORPION OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS
Walter fastened his tie and quickly ran his fingers through his hair, making sure he looked decent. This was just a normal day, but for some reason it felt special, like something was going to happen…
"Walter," he recognized Paige's voice, for she was cooking breakfast for the whole Scorpion Team.
"Breakfast's ready!"
Walter exited his loft and walked down the stairs, then smelled a thick scent of bacon, eggs, and waffles.
"There's our sleepy genius!" Paige smiled gently, and Walter retuned that smile.
At that instant Toby walked in and looked at the table to see condiments and food spread across the table on plates.
"Paige should come early more often!" Toby chuckled lightly and sat down, then Happy walked in and sighed
"Women are not maids you know." Happy sat beside Toby and he replied
"I know that but I would still be nice to have a nice breakfast sometimes."
"Don't you mean all the time?" Happy raised her eyebrow
"Shut up." Toby chuckled and reached across the table and grabbed a few waffles, while Happy got some eggs.
Sylvester walked in and sat down
"You did get Ralph to school, right?" He asked
"Yup! All taken care of." Paige put the last of the waffles on a plate with the rest of the waffles and sat down. Walter sat down and got a waffle, some eggs, and two pieces of bacon. He spread butter on his waffles and put on some syrup, and cut the waffles into a few pieces.
"Thanks Paige." Walter glanced up at Paige for a moment then looked back down at his plate.
"Finally! Some credit for doing something nice! Also, thank you Paige." Happy smiled slightly and looked over at Toby, who looked up at Happy who gave him a stern look
"Yeah, thanks." He chuckled before taking a bite of his eggs.
"No problem guys." Paige giggled slightly and poured some syrup over her waffles and eggs. It was silent for a while, except for the scraping of forks on plates and the rain pattering outside.
Then, a high pitched ringing broke the silence, and everyone looked over to Walter's loft, for his phone was ringing.
"Ill be back." Walter stood up and jogged over to his stairwell, then jogged up it. He walked in his room
'estimated 3 seconds left till voicemail' he thought to himself.
Walter picked up the phone and looked to see it was from Megan's hospital.
"Hello?" Walter asked
"Yes, is this Walter O'brien, Megan O'brien's brother?" A female voice asked
"Yes, yes it is…"
"Well, im sorry to tell you but we have had some complications with your sister…" Walter started to feel nervous
"Someone has given her the wrong medication for over three months and this morning we found her with untreatable comditions… Im sorry Mr. O'brien but your sister only has 20 minutes to live." Walter felt like he was going to puke, then he was angry, then sad… his sister was going to die!
Walter dropped his phone and grabbed his coat off his bed, then excited his room, running down the stairs and running towards the front door of the garage. Before he knew it, Toby was in front of him
"Whoh whoh, where are you going?" He asked. Walter just stood there speechless, then saw Toby's face soften. He understood, of course he did, Toby could read his emotions clearly.
"Whats wr-" Before Toby could finish his sentence, Walter was out of the front door.
Walter felt rain hit his body as he ran to his car and got in, started it, and started to drive towards the hospital.
Tears streamed down his face as he raced towards the hospital.
"Come on come on!" Walter yelled, he wanted to see his sister before she died, hoping that maybe there was some way… but something deep down told him that there was no possible way that she could live.
'18 minutes and 25 seconds plus traffic…' Walter thought
But only one thought could stay in his mind…
His sister was dying and he might not make it in time to say goodbye.
Sorry about this REALLY REALLY short chapter, ill try to post another chapter (that's WAY longer) soon, and hopefully tonight!
